A Blink is a 30-second poem – a super-quick buzz session run of words. You have to bee quick, sound forth (don't drone), and tell us whats a happening!
The Blinks is:
A challenge – to create a poem to perform in 30 seconds, MAX!
Anything but routine. Blinks can be snaps of fun, or searing. They can be sad, inspiring, or silly! Whatever gives you a buzz.
Invented and presented by the Stroll of Poets at the Edmonton Poetry Festival for 20 years.
